Self-Massage For Headache & Relaxation

Self-massage is something that you can do yourself to relieve stress, headaches or tired muscles. After your treatment I can teach you these simple techniques as it may also prolong the effects of massage between treatments. 

Here is how you could try to relieve a headache or just feel more relaxed in general:

Head Massage

• Lower your shoulders away from your ears

• Straighten your neck and back

• Locate the base of your skull

• Place the index and middle fingers of each hand in the center, fingertips touching

• Apply gentle pressure and slide your fingers outward or downward, moving in the direction that feels best

• Move your fingers in small circular motions

• Focus on the tense spots, along with the areas around such as neck and shoulders

Massaging temples is a great and quick way to relax if you are getting stressed at work!

• Apply gentle pressure for about 10 seconds, release and repeat

• You can also use circular movement to massage them

• For even deeper relaxation breathe slowly and deeply
